Why I love the Holy Land

I have been to the Holy Land twice and am looking forward to a return trip sometime in the future - the near future, I hope. I love the Sea of Galilee and the whole area surrounding it. I feel as though I am HOME when there. I feel that the Presence of Jesus is still felt in the Holy Land today.

The village of Capernaum is captivating! The home of Peter's mother-in-law can still be seen today. There is a church built above the home, where our group was blessed to celebrate mass in 2008. From that point, you can walk a few hundred yards to the Sea of Galilee. How many times did Jesus walk that same path?

In the near future, I will post something I wrote upon my return from my first trip to this sacred land.

Carolyn, this is very inspiring; thank you for sharing. I'm curious to know if there are any specific sites in the Galilee that you recommend and which hotels or guesthouses you might have stayed at.
Thanks!
